White House memes and front page covers : Anthony Scaramucci

Update Monday 7/31/17: Anthony Scaramucci is out as White House communications director after just 10 days in the job.

• Scaramucci is the third White House communications director to leave the post that had been vacant since late May, when Mike Dubke left after about three months on the job. Sean Spicer, the former White House press secretary, also assumed some of the communications director role before he resigned when Scaramucci was hired July 21.
• His departure comes days after Scaramucci unleashed a vulgar tirade against two top White House officials in a conversation with a reporter.

Anthony Scaramucci, aka "the Mooch", the new White House communications director. 

After the election, Trump asked Scaramucci to join his Administration, and Scaramucci sold his company, SkyBridge Capital, in anticipation of taking on a senior role. But Priebus didn’t want him in the White House, and successfully blocked him from being appointed to a job until last week, when Trump offered him the communications job over Priebus’s vehement objections. In response to Scaramucci’s appointment, Sean Spicer, an ally of Priebus’s, resigned his position as press secretary. And in an additional slight to Priebus, the White House’s official announcement of Scaramucci’s hiring noted that he would report directly to the President, rather than to the chief of staff.
